Preferred term

cross-cultural teams  

Definition(s)

  • A cross-cultural team (CCT) is a group of individuals from two or more national cultures accomplishing an organizational task, interacting interdependently, and mutually sharing responsibility for outcomes. Examples of a CCT can be as different as a management team of a Sino-American joint venture, a football or basketball team counting on high-profile superstars from a dozen countries, and a team of engineers working together on new product development “round the clock” in three different time zones.
